  • Revise random number generation for MCICA
  • Improvement of the user interface to control MCICA

v.0.16.3

  • Fix error in documentation

v.0.16.2

  • Fix wheel build on Mac

v.0.16.1

  • Fixed issue with Mac build
  • Few changes in the dry convection component. Significantly improves the performance.
  • Changed logo!
  • Fixed failing docs build

v0.16.0

  • Added some documentation for using RRTMG with McICA
  • CI Testing for Mac and py37 added.
  • Refactored initialisation code
  • Enable the McICA version of RRTMG Longwave for consistency with the Shortwave component.
  • Fix bugs in IceSheet
  • Add tests to verify conservation of quantities
  • Fix bugs in initialisation
  • Fix energy conservation in surface flux scheme
  • Enable the McICA version of RRTMG Shortwave, so that partial cloud fractions can be used.
  • Add GMD example scripts to repository.
  • Fix docs to reflect API changes after refactor.
  • Fix wrong initialisation to use sigma values instead of pressure values of optical depth for GrayLongwaveRadiation

Breaking Changes

  • The flux outputs of GrayLongwaveRadiation have been renamed to eliminate on_interface_levels to keep consistency with other components.
  • All arrays are now 3/2d by default based on their expected dimensions.
  • horizontal dimensions are now lon, lat, but inputs used by components remain the same (latitude, longitude).

v.0.14.8

Many of the changes in this version come from changes in Sympl 0.4.0. We recommend reading those changes in the Sympl documentation.

  • Updated component APIs to work with Sympl 0.4.0
  • Many components which previously required horizontal dimensions now use wildcard matches for column dimensions.
  • Switched many print statements to logging calls.
  • Fixed bugs in some components

Breaking Changes

  • get_constant and set_constant have been removed, use the ones in Sympl.
  • Emanuel convection scheme can no longer be set to perform dry adiabatic adjustment to the boundary layer. This has been implemented in a separate component.
  • ClimtPrognostic, ClimtImplicitPrognostic, ClimtDiagnostic, ClimtImplicit have been removed. Use the base types in Sympl.
  • State initialization has been entirely re-worked. get_default_state now takes in an optional grid state instead of options to do with the state grid. A function get_grid is provided which can create a grid state, or one can be created manually. A grid state is a state containing air pressure and sigma on mid and interface levels, as well as surface pressure.
  • Replaced references to “thermal_capacity” with references to “heat_capacity” in component quantity names.

v.0.14.7

  • Fix issue with pip v10 and pandas 0.22 conflicts

v.0.14.3

  • Fix release issue because of pip API change

v.0.14.1

  • Fix appveyor fail due to pip changes

v.0.14.0

  • Fixed broken version numbers

v.0.12.0

  • new release to fix version numbers and create zenodo ID

v.0.9.4

  • Added attributes to inputs/outputs/ etc., to work with ScalingWrapper Added tests as well.
  • Added tests for constants functions
  • Fixed requirements to ensure this version of climt installs the correct versions of sympl and numpy.

v.0.9.3

  • Released because of a labelling issue. See 0.9.2 for details.

v.0.9.2

  • Updated documentation
  • Cleaned up examples
  • Added (*)_properties as a property to all components
  • The gas constant for dry air in the Emanuel scheme is now renamed _Rdair
  • RRTMG LW and SW are now OpenMP parallel
  • Added Instellation component to calculate zenith angle
  • Added tests to increase coverage
  • New constants handling functionality added
  • Travis builds now use stages
  • Appveyor CI up and running
  • Pre-installation of cython and numpy no longer necessary for source builds
  • Added snow-ice component
  • Ozone profiles do not need to be specified externally
  • Now also tested on Python 3.6

Breaking Changes

  • API for constants setting changed to set_constant_from_dict and add_constants_from_dict
  • GfsDynamicalCore renamed to GFSDynamicalCore for consistency
  • get_prognostic_version method of ClimtImplicit renamed to prognostic_version, and no longer accepts timestep as an argument. The current timestep should be set in ClimtImplicit.current_time_step during each iteration.
  • RRTMGShortwave now uses sympl’s solar constant by default instead of from fortran.

v.0.9.1

  • Held-Suarez and moist GCM with grey radiation work!

Breaking Changes

Latest
